  • Eight-year-olds learn primarily from positive feedback ('
  • Twelve-year-olds are better able to process negative feedback, and use it to learn from their mistakes.  Adults do the same, but more efficiently. 
  • In children of eight and nine, these areas of the brain react strongly to positive feedback and scarcely respond at all to negative feedback. 
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Children learn the whole time, so this new knowledge can have major consequences for people wanting to teach children: how can you best relay instructions to eight- and twelve-year-olds?' ’
  • Learning from mistakes is more complex than carrying on in the same way as before. You have to ask yourself what precisely went wrong and how it was possible.

    Would you teach your students to read without teaching them to write? Probably not. Educators know that linking these two pieces together makes for a more complete learning experience. Transferring this knowledge into the world of online search, does it make sense to teach students to search without teaching them what's involved in creating and managing a search engine?

fryer promethian smartboard

shared by beth gourley on 04 Aug 08 - Cached
  • I’ve noticed some teachers can become quite adamant about the superiority they perceive for either the Smart and Promethean electronic whiteboard. These conversations can be quite similar to the “Mac or PC” arguments which flare up from time time time.
  • It is still rare, however, to find a teacher with extensive experience using more than one whiteboard platform, however.
  • Whatever electronic whiteboard platform you think is better (eInstruction is also a big player too, of course) it’s impossible to ignore the HUGE sums of money schools continue to spend on these devices.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Unfortunately, IMHO, electronic whiteboards are not a technology which inherently encourages pedagogic shifts in instructional practices
  • whiteboards continue to be used in very teacher-directed, didactic learning settings
  • I’d like to see all our schools proactively plan and implement sustainable one-to-one laptop learning initiatives.
  • I am quite tired of seeing so many teachers continue to persist in 19th century styles of teaching using 21st century tools.
  • As Marco Torres says, if teachers are still just asking kids to read pages 1 - 20 and answer questions 1 - 10 from the textbook, but now doing it with a flashy electronic whiteboard instead of a chalkboard or overhead projector, technology dollars have just been WASTED.
  • Smartboards are fun to use and often represent “low hanging fruit” for school board members as well as administrators who want to find visible ways to show the public “we support technology use in our schools” but at the same time minimize the potentially disruptive impact of those technologies on the traditional teaching and learning paradigm.
  • beth gourley on 04 Aug 08
     
    In summary, Wesley states that Smartboard is now requiring installation keys. Previously they had not and it was one reason why folks opted for Smartboard over Promethian. There are rumors that Promethian may not require serial numbers for Promethian downloads, but it does not seem to be the case for the author. He further goes on to say...

    As we increasingly move toward an environment of instant and infinite information, it becomes less important for students to know, memorize, or recall information, and more important for them to be able to find, sort, analyze, share, discuss, critique, and create information. They need to move from being simply knowledgeable to being knowledge-able.

shared by beth gourley on 11 Jan 09 - Cached
  • What Research Says About / Collaborative Inquiry
  • systematic, collaborative work will increase student learning
  • In their study of nine high schools, Ingram, Louis, and Schroeder (2004) report that teachers are more likely to collect and use data systematically when working as a group. When working by themselves, teachers tend to rely on anecdotes and intuition.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Student work products or individual teachers' formative assessments are more relevant to instructional practices than standardized test scores
  • leadership and norms that support collaboration and data use
  • sufficient chunks of time to meet, training in inquiry skills, protocols to guide data collection and discussion, and a skilled facilitator to keep the agenda focused
  • Collaborative inquiry is among the most promising strategies for strengthening teaching and learning. At the same time, it may be one of the most difficult to implement.
  • beth gourley on 11 Jan 09
     
    Teachers can make better use of data when they work together than when they go it alone. But creating the conditions for such collaboration is a tall order.

    This is an update to Bloom's revised taxonomy to account for the new behaviours emerging as technology advances and becomes more ubiquitous. Bloom's revised taxonomy accounts for many of the traditional classroom practices, behaviours and actions but does not account for the new processes and actions associated with web 2.0 technologies and increasing ubiquitous computing.
